Day 1: Grinding, Spicing & Curing

Step 1

Ice down all grinder parts, meat tubs, and water vessels in a large tub for 30 minutes before cutting.

Step 2

Blend recipe weights of lean beef, pork, and hard fat cuts uniformly.

Step 3

Run a rapid coarse grind using a 3/8-inch plate directly into the iced bus tub.

Step 4

Evenly distribute the Bulk Kosher Salt, Curing Salt, and the pitmaster's dry spice blend across the grind.

Step 5

Dry mix with hands for 2 minutes to completely integrate the cure into the meat.

Step 6

Cover tightly and store the bus tub in the cooler for its mandatory overnight cure window.

Day 2: Mixing, Stuffing & Linking

Step 7

Submerge water containers and sausage stuffer parts in a fresh ice bath for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Thoroughly strain all brine juice out of the pickled/spiced jalapeƱos, then medium-dice.

Step 9

Whisk the first 5 cups of prepped ice water with the Powdered Milk and Coarse Black Pepper.

Step 10

Pour the pepper-milk mixture over the cured meat and execute heavy manual mixing for 3 minutes.

Step 11

Incorporate the remaining 5 cups of ice water, high-temp cheese cubes, and the completely dry jalapeƱo dice.

Step 12

Knead aggressively for 3-5 minutes until the meat paste turns sticky and holds its shape when inverted.

Step 13

Flush natural hog casings with cool water, slide onto the horn, and pack the cylinder tightly to clear air pockets.

Step 14

Extrude onto a wet table, pinch at 6-inch intervals, and twist 3-5 times—alternating the twist rotation directions.

Step 15

Hang the links on racks in the walk-in cooler for a minimum of 2 hours to dry the casings before smoking.
